I picked this up for a reasonable price about a month ago. The liner is partially messed up and it has has a couple of splits in the shell repaired...
But, my first ever first rolled rim felt!
Fittings have a very thin nickel wash over the brass that has mostly worn away on the M91 side posts. Edge is rolled, but I found it interesting that an extra band of soft, cushioning felt had been partially stitched/placed inside behind the liner by the manufacturer. Looks like a form of padding between the hard shell and the leather lining, like one would find between the leather and aluminum on the liners of WWII Helmets.
I need to find the other parts.
Probably nothing new to you guys, but it is my first rolled rim one, so I am happy!
I figured I would share.
